CNN: Biden Promises Administration Will Fight Texas Ruling on Abortion Pill
EXCERPT:
WRIGHT: “Well, look, the White House has really been bracing for this moment and frankly worried, given the Trump appointed federal judge’s background and past rulings that the outcome could come out like this. And now we are here. So President Biden last night in a statement, he slammed the decision. Now I want to read you a part of it because it is very forceful, Fred. The President, he wrote that the court in this case has substituted its judgment for FDA, the expert agency that approves drugs. If this ruling were to stand, then there will be virtually no prescription approved by the FDA that would be safe from these kinds of political ideological attacks. This does not just affect women in Texas. If it stands, it would prevent women in every state from accessing the medication, regardless of whether abortion is legal in a state. It is the next big step toward the national ban on abortion that Republican-elected officials have vowed to make law in America. Now, we also heard from Vice President Kamala Harris, someone we know who’s been deeply engaged on this issue yesterday in Tennessee. And she said that the Biden Administration would stand with women and called this a dangerous precedent.”
